But it doesn't include export in with the extern(Windows)?

I can't find it searching for it or grepping for it.

It should be on http://www.d-programming-language.org/attribute.html in the 
'Linkage Attribute' section, but naturally it's only mentioned.

But at least I can tell you in the compiler, the definition is simple:

        else if (id == Id::System)
        {
#if _WIN32
            link = LINKwindows;
#else
            link = LINKc;
#endif
        }
